I think I have a moderate case of BDD and every time I bring it up to my mom she says that I look fine and I don't need to worry. So does everyone else; I feel they pity me because I look the way I feel I do (ugly). I'm afraid to ask my therapist, bc I don't think anyone gets it. What should I do?
not to try to belittle you or doubt you, but every teenager dislikes their appearence at one time or another. i use to call myself ugly and think everyone thought i was ugly and i wore makeup every single day and straightened my hair every single day because i thought i wouldn't have any friends otherwise. but i didn't have bdd. teenage girls especially go through confidence issues, but i really doubt it's more than that. you're definitely not alone.
if you want to ask your therapist, go for it. they'd have an idea.
